e RS ARCE SO ATTET TONE B—12 %% CAPITAL BOY CALLS LONDON ON PHONE Goodwill Messages Between Two Continents Exchanged in Conversation. Gathering up the “goodwill” mes- sages which had been telephoned from state capital to state capital since early morning in the announced interest of outlawing war, Robert Hild, Business High School senior class president, yes-| it terday telephoned a review of the day- long conversations to John Henry Brad- ley of the Hackney Down School in London, who had a similar collection of the goodwill messages of Europe to transmit westward. ‘Young Hild was seated in the chair- man'’s chair of the Senate Foreign Re- lations Committee room as he spoke with the young Briton in England’s House of Parliament. - “Hello! Washington!” John Bradley called out across the Atlantic to the Washington boy who was spokesman for the youth of the United States. Hild’s face showed his own excitement. “It is @ strange feeling to be talk- ing across the Atlantic Ocgan,” Brad- ley began on the prepared speech he was to deliver; “but I have no time— Oh, I say, can you hear me Wash- ington?” Agree to Peace Efforts, “Sure, go ahead!” responded Hild. ‘Then Bradley continued with his half of the “set” conversaticn. He recited how “good will” messages had been traversing Europe, Asia and Australia all day yesterday. He told the Wash- ington lad all the messages were friend- ly, and that while he could not tell all that was sald, they all agreed there should not be another war, and that “we of the younger generation must Not Expert, Court Says of Burglar Twice Apprehended — By the Associated Press.

The prosecution had proposed to have Blakeslee identify the articles found in possession of the two men. stand shoulder to shoulder to prevent Robert Hild then '/:mkt ‘up his part of the prepared ‘‘conversation.” = p.“:) very glad, indeed, to be able ——" but then he broke to ask of his own accord: “Can you hear me, Lon- don?” On the assurance his voice was being received perfectly, Hild explained he, tco, had messages from all over the United States and from the countries below the Rio Grande. Then he, too, recited his plece about war. Senator Borah Is Spectator. “war is out of date,” Hild declared, “and there are many things that can be done for the good of all of us if we can all work together to do them. ‘We want you to know that we are ready and eager to know the boys and girls of the rest of the world and to work with them.” The conversations between Washing- ton and London, climaxing a day of in- ternational telephonic communication, were arranged by the World Federation of Education Associations in co-opera- tion with the National Council for Prevention of War. During_the Washington-London call Senator Willlam E. Borah of Idaho, chairman of the Senate Foreign Rela- tions Committee, sat as a spectator. He ‘had yielded his chairman’s seat to Rob- ert Hild with a warm greeting. “So glad you're here for this, Robert,” Senator Borah said. “It's a great oc- casion.” > THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

The trees in Washington's parks, beautiful to gaze upon, in reality are go- | Pari ing into decline, because of paltry ap- propriations made by Congress for their upkeep during the past 20 years. The Parks'Advisory Committee, assisting Col. U. 8.

Lieut. Butler asserted run-down con- dition is true of the parks generally.
